The Enchanted Hour
May 4, 2022
It’s the way the warmth of the sunlight feels like your arms.
It’s the way these God-rays glow as subtly as your smile.
For these clear skies behold the lucid dreams we dreamt together.
You and I are auroras of this universe.
Auroras that shimmer as lustrously as our scars.
Scars that melted into veneered warm shades of lilac and rouge.
These lilac and rouge beauties are vapid in front of this enchanted hour.
For this bewitching hour is my dearest drug.
A drug that devours and dissipates:
The homely sunlight,
The crystalline sky,
The sanctified clouds,
And the pure bliss of God.
You and I are mediocrities,
For the sun, sky and clouds are much greater mysteries than our love.

I am Maya , a 16-year-old junior in high school in Pakistan, Islamabad. Writing is a passion that runs deep in my veins. My creations although raw and undefiled reek of melancholy at their intense epitome, hoping that my words seep into the reader's bones.
My work, "Death Stick: The Death of Me" has been published in the Paper Crane Journal, "Fatality" has been published in The Hearth Magazine, "Fresco" has been published in the Cathartic Literary Magazine, and "The Moon" has been published by the Juniper Literary Magazine. I am also an active member of my school's local writing magazine, Thicker Than Ink.
Maya Sultan has taken a dip into the somber notes of music and dark questions in literature. Building her dreams brick by brick. All soul, All depth.
